2022 Midterms: James Judge faces uphill battle against incumbent Kathy Castor

In Florida’s 14th Congressional District, Republican newcomer James Judge is campaigning to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor.

But despite a successful Primary, Judge faces an enormous uphill climb against the incumbent as she seeks her ninth term representing the deep-blue Tampa district.

Judge took the Republican nomination after winning the Primary with 53% of votes. Castor became the official Democratic nominee after collecting 90% of the votes.

Castor is favored to win re-election. To take the district, Judge would need to have strong appeal across party lines, which may be hard as a Trump-aligned member of the NRA.
